Abstract: Polymyxins are important therapeutic options for treating infections, mainly those caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Specific chemical characteristics of polymyxins make it difficult to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing, especially within the clinical laboratory. Here we… read more here.
